A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy
Dr. Juliet Christian-Smith, Senior Research Associate, Pacific Institute
Mar 19 2013
56 mins
It is zero hour for a new US water policy! At a time when many countries are adopting new national approaches to water management, the United States still has no cohesive federal policy, and water-related authorities are dispersed across more than 30 agencies. Here, at last, is a vision for what we as a nation need to do to manage our most vital resource. In this book, leading thinkers at world-class water research institution the Pacific Institute present clear and readable analysis and recommendations for a new federal water policy to confront our national and global challenges at a critical time.
What exactly is at stake? In the 21st century, pressures on water resources in the United States are growing and conflicts among water users are worsening. Communities continue to struggle to meet water quality standards and to ensure that safe drinking water is available for all. And new challenges are arising as climate change and extreme events worsen, new water quality threats materialize, and financial constraints grow. Yet the United States has not stepped up with adequate leadership to address these problems.
The inability of national policymakers to safeguard our water makes the United States increasingly vulnerable to serious disruptions of something most of us take for granted: affordable, reliable, and safe water. This book provides an independent assessment of water issues and water management in the United States, addressing emerging and persistent water challenges from the perspectives of science, public policy, environmental justice, economics, and law. With fascinating case studies and first-person accounts of what helps and hinders good water management, this is a clear-eyed look at what we need for a 21st century U.S. water policy.

Water Conservation Case Study Session #1: West Coast Innovation
Jon Gray, Principal & Senior Plumbing Engineer, Interface Engineering & Jeffrey Miller, Miller Company Landscape Architects
Mar 19 2013
69 mins
This session will focus on the completed projects of two design firms. These case studies will highlight the innovative solutions that both firms deploy in their efforts to reduce fresh water use and waste-water run-off. The panelists are Lisa Petterson of SERA Architects Inc. and Jeffrey Miller of Miller Company Landscape Architects. The specific projects they will present are described below. Each panelist will share how water conservation measures where achieved in their projects, the measured impact of these solutions and lessons-learned that impacted their future work. The session will end with questions from attendees.
In 2008, SERA Architects was commissioned to design a high-rise multi-family development to meet the then newly released Living Building Challenge Standard. The team recognized that Net Zero Water would be particularly challenging due to the water needs of a residential building. We applied for a grant to identify regulatory barriers project teams would face when creating Living Buildings. In the undertaking, we found ourselves doing more than just identifying barriers. Ultimately the team's work resulted in passage of three alternate methods to the state building code and a house bill which legalized the use of rainwater and graywater in Oregon. As a result of these policy changes, the team is celebrating completion of one of the largest rainwater collection projects in Oregon and is now designing what will be one of the largest rainwater-to-potable systems ever built.
Miller Company Landscape Architects is an award-winning landscape architecture firm located in San Francisco. Case study projects illustrated in this presentation include over 20 green school yards the firm has designed and built in San Francisco. These projects include independent and public schools commissioned by SFUSD, SFPUC and include edible and native gardens, rainwater catchment systems and educational components.

Power Plants – Curbing the Thirst
M. Lorraine White, Principal, GEI Consulting
Mar 19 2013
67 mins
Generating electricity requires significant quantities of water, primarily for cooling. This demand can be particularly challenging at a local level representing in many cases a community's single largest consumer. In addition, wastewater from these facilities can have a significant impact on water quality within a region as well. Since 2003, the California Energy Commission evaluated new power plant proposals based on policies that encourage the use of degraded water supplies rather than fresh water by power facilities and where feasible, use zero liquid discharge systems to eliminate wastewater impacts. In addition, efforts to significantly increase the efficiency of water used by power facilities as resulted in significant reductions in overall water demand by new facilities as compared to older plants. This course will explore the water dependencies and efficiency opportunities associated with power plants and the policies that now govern this relationship in California.

Art of Stormwater
Matthew Passmore, Rebar (moderator); Charles Brucker, PLACE Studio; Jennifer Easton, City of San Jose; Linda Wysong, PNCA
Mar 19 2013
45 mins
From the beginning, water has been at the center of our lives. We choose to live by it, harness its energy, and certainly depend upon it for sustenance. Historically we collect our stormwater and whisk it away in the most expedient and efficient manner never stopping to consider its ability to make additional contributions. Over the last few decades and with increasing frequency, stormwater has been treated as the important resource it presents. Designers and artists, together with engineers and agencies are looking to celebrate stormwater's presence in our communities through creative expression, interpretation, and the visible additions of green infrastructure. There are inspiring examples from around the world to motivate us to join efforts with our colleagues and our communities to make an impact and to celebrate water.

Waste strategy: a positive force for the UK's energy infrastructure development?
David Massingham, Public Affairs Director, Covanta Energy
Apr 20 2012
58 mins
Developments in the Waste Strategy have been long awaited and much debated. At best they could unlock some of the barriers to both waste and energy infrastructure development - at worst they could result in recourse to more debate, and a loss of vital inward investment.
While the financial climate remains difficult, it's no surprise that many of those local authorities who are still to put residual waste solutions in place have had to take a step back to reconsider their options. But the UK cannot afford a protracted period of reconsideration if we are to deliver the required waste and energy capacity to meet targets and actual need. While last year's announcements proved to be a damp squib, early indicators suggest that these new changes will have a positive impact.
Government energy policy has already identified EfW as one of a handful of technologies that are critical to delivering energy security and low carbon objectives. It is our belief, however, that if we are to deliver the full potential of EfW, we are going to need to exploit resources beyond the municipal sector, especially the energy value of residual Commercial & Industrial (C&I) waste.
Joining up the dots of all of these combined waste and energy considerations, and taking into account planning and localism, is an enormous challenge - for government and for those working within the sector.
Covanta is the largest Energy-from-Waste provider in the world, operating 46 plants worldwide. The company has more than 25 years' experience and treats over 18 million tonnes or residual waste annually from which it derives more than 9 million megawatt hours of sustainable energy.
Covanta is making a considerable investment into the UK and Irish Energy-from-Waste markets, making up to 2 million tonnes of EfW capacity available over the next five years. Through this programme Covanta will be investing in communities, through job creation and community partnerships.

An Operational Framework for Business Engagement w/ Water Policy
Peter Schulte, Research Associate, Pacific Institute
Apr 21 2011
39 mins
A number of recent global trends are threatening the quantity, quality, reliability, and affordability of water resources and water services, creating risk for business and government alike. In response, companies invest in operational efficiencies, site their facilities in locations that can provide for adequate and reliable sources of water, and are increasingly working with their suppliers to improve water management practices.
However, these "internal" solutions are limited in mitigating the full range of water-related business risks, as many risks stem from external factors largely established by the public sector and controlled through public policy. Public water policy, unfortunately, can be wasteful, uninformed, inadequately enforced, under-funded, and at worst corrupt and negligent of its social and commercial responsibilities. As such, there is a strong business case for companies engaging with the public sector in order to strengthen water policy, facilitate its effective implementation, and ultimately advance sustainable water management.
This presentation will outline an operational framework for effective policy engagement that will highlight how companies can assess watershed conditions, develop an engagement strategy, and implement it effectively. This framework will be illustrated by a series of case studies.

Growing Enough Food Without Enough Water
Dr. David Molden, Deputy Director General for Research, International Water Management Institute
Apr 23 2010
37 mins
Water scarcity is a reality for about 1/3 of the world's population. Driving increasing water scarcity is the way we manage water for food. Projections indicate that a growing, wealthier population may need as much as 70% more food by 2050. With water scarcity already posing a constraint to food production in many areas of the world, a major question is whether we have enough water to grow enough food. In fact, it is not the amount of water that is lacking globally. Rather we are lacking in good management of water and land resources. Finding solutions will require a different set of thinking and actions moving forward. Water scarcity has brought about a new set of problems that require new solutions.
The presentation and discussion will cover water scarcity and drivers of water use within and outside the water sector and include climate change; it will ask how much more water will be needed to grow enough food; then it will provide a direction for finding solutions to future water and food problems.
David Molden is Deputy Director General for Research at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). He has a PhD, specializing in groundwater hydrology and irrigation, and has broader interests in integrating social, technical and environmental aspects of water management. Recently, David coordinated a global program involving over 700 participants to produce a Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture, with results documented in the publication Water for Food, Water for Life (http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/Assessment/). David was presented with the CGIAR Outstanding Scientist Award.

Seattle >Home & Garden > Great Jones Home
1921 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810147.611382 -122.341268
Neighborhoods: Pike Place Market, Downtown
Horrible rudeness and empty food containers and muck all over the "work-table" - disgisting experience, all around. – This is my third, and LAST time ever going into this rediculous shop. Cary, Bridget, et al are nothing more than fakers. None of them have a design background yet claim to be designers, they have the absolute rudest attitudes I've ever experienced in a retail, or otherwise, setting. I took my mother and sister there after warning them that the service can be a little aloof, but was so embarrased by the treatment we received that I swear I will never go back. No one said hello to us, and we stood at the counter with items in hand to purchse while Cary ignored us completely - that's enough! Cary, I suggest you stop spending your time trying to sell yourself as a designer and GO BACK TO SCHOOL so you at least have the credentials to back up your hideous attitude. And Bridget as well....who is nothing short of Cary's minion. Both are rediculous and not worth the hassle. Not to mention, the first time I was in the shop Cary was screaming at one of her employees who was in tears....are you kidding me? Grow up girls, you are not the only game in town.
Do not go here unless you're interested in being taken – Kari and Bridgette falsefied their products, design professionalism and may be the biggest RIPOFF artists in the hood. Charged my friends thousands of dollars in "design charges"? Non of them are designers. Sold "one of a kind pieces...when my friend found them in a design studio...replicas the same...in Chicago the same year. Do not trust this "retail" establishment.
Shabby Chic--both the home style and the trademarked items--creates a cozy ambience in a cavernous Downtown space.
– In Short
This charming space, complete with a pair of cooing doves, has been written about in numerous home and lifestyle magazines. Perhaps it's because owner Sarah Kaplan roams the U.S. and Paris in search of antique items, from flower chandeliers to French vanities. The floral print linens all have that country fresh, just-off-the-clothes-line look--even though they're spanking new. Delicate lampshades, floral water, notecards and luxurious soaps help round out the collection.

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
A wall of 20-degree days and sidewalk perma-sludge make it hard to imagine life without galoshes and sleeping bag-style overcoats.
Which makes dreaming of spring fashion all the more irresistible. So, in today's video, we asked nine designers and store owners to tell us their must-haves for the coming season — from head-to-toe white to bold prints.
Our panel: Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato, Erin Beatty at Suno, Isaac Mizrahi, Jen Mankins at Bird, Kyung Lee at Albertine, Neil Blumenthal at Warby Parker Eyewear, Nicholas Kunz of Nicholas K, Mara Hoffman, and Morgan Yakus and Karin Bereson at No. 6.
A fine group, indeed. And despite the variation in taste, we found there are a few core looks that will be ubiquitous this spring.
A scarf that covers the whole face is not one of them.
For more spring trend reports, bloggers' personal obsessions, and show coverage, check out our Fall 2011 Fashion Week site, launching today. Want to see the catwalk in person? Enter to win two tickets to designer Rebecca Minkoff's fall/winter 2011 show this Friday at Lincoln Center.
We'd be lying if we said unlimited coconut water and granola bars weren't huge incentives for going backstage during New York Fashion Week.
But it's also pretty freaking cool to be surrounded by beauty's greatest talents as they do their thing.
In today's videos, we venture into the chaos and ask the experts to give us the inside track on the looks at some of our favorite shows. We get a floral nail-art tutorial at Rachel Antonoff (above) and explanations/inspirations for the asymmetrical chignons at Suno, avant-garde braids at Creatures of the Wind, and loose ponytails at Tracy Reese.
As always, some are more wearable than others.
But at least they won't take up any room in your purse.
Want to keep watching? Check out our backstage beauty videos for the spring/summer 2012 shows at Timo Weiland, Erin Fetherston, and Rebecca Minkoff. And by all means, read up on current Fashion Week shows on our Tumblr.
If you can whip up a covetable do using butterfly clips, matted braids, and glitter, then you must be a miracle worker. Or you're Kérastase stylist Odile Gilbert, who did exactly that at Creatures of the Wind last Thursday. In this video, Gilbert (the master behind the hair for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette) explains her look.

We love seeing ponytails on the catwalk (it gives our go-to look sartorial credibility). In this case, Tresemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu kicks the simple style up a few notches by leaving front sections out and pinning them over the rubber band. Watch this video to learn how she does it.

Of the many perks of being a celebrity, a closet that's bigger than most of our bedrooms is pretty high up there. So when Mindy Kaling offered to show us hers, we twirled at the chance.
In this video, the talented Kaling pulls out a few of her favorite pieces — from glittery Miu Mius to the hoodie she likes to write in — and tells us a little bit about each.
Mindy Kaling's book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, is available online at amazon.com, $16.

At this point, New York Fashion Week's a blur of bright colors, front-row CW stars, and FiberOne bars (they're being given out by the dozens).
Since it'll be months until the styles show up in stores, we decided to focus on something we can have right now: the beauty trends originating backstage.
For today's videos, we went behind the scenes to get tips and inspiration for a few of our favorite looks: '60s era hair (above) and nails at Erin Fetherston, suntan-inspired makeup at Timo Weiland, and the return of big hair at Rebecca Minkoff.
While there, we had a little fun and asked Lincoln Center bystanders to show us their best Blue Steel. (We questioned the models, too, but they were too young to know Zoolander.)
After all, there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.
Want to know what to wear now? Check out some of our favorite fall trends: polka dots, animal silhouettes, and winter white.
Our favorite thing about Grace Coddington (besides everything)? Her hair, obviously. The models at Rebecca Minkoff's s/s 2012 show Monday rocked a similar look, created by Tresemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu. Though the look isn't easy to re-create, it left us wondering if perms might make a comeback.
The products used for this look are 24 Hour Body root-boosting spray and 24 Hour Body finishing spray.
In this age of color-blocked suits and oversize neon dresses, it's nice to see a detail that stands out by being subtle. Which is exactly why we loved the pale pink nail polish custom made by Butter London creative director Nonie Creme for designer Erin Fetherston's s/s 2012 show.
To make this shade yourself, mix half a bottle of Tea with the Queen with half a bottle of Pink Ribbon.
If moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty, then it only makes sense we'd ask people to do their best Blue Steel faces outside Lincoln Center over the weekend. This one's for you, Derek.
We don't encourage anyone to get a sunburn (in fact, we are SPF junkies). But if anyone could make a case for faking one, it'd be makeup artist James Boehmer. After he was done with them, the models at Timo Weiland's s/s 2012 show looked like they had just hopped off surfboards.
To get this look at home, use Nars loose powder in Beach and blush in Zen.
Ah, fall: the return of hot coffee, big knits, and college football — not to mention the disappearance of upper lip sweat.
Before we conduct our annual cold weather wardrobe switch, we consulted nine of our favorite NYC-based designers/store owners (including Rachel Antonoff, Whitney Pozgay of Whit, and Alan Eckstein of Timo Weiland) to find out which trends they're most excited about this season. From Chelsea boots to metallic fabrics, the expert picks sparked our desire to shop.
While you're in the zone, check out a few of our own must-wears: winter whites, polka dots, lace, and animal silhouette prints.
We predict you'll fall hard.
Want even more? Follow us on Tumblr for New York Fashion Week coverage. We'll be sharing our favorite looks, runway playlists, and best quotes overheard in the tents.
In the immortal words of Dolly Parton, "I'm not offended by blonde jokes, because I know I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blond."
It's with that mentality we felt okay asking our brunette senior editor, Karen Palmer, to go lighter — strawberry blond to be exact — for today's video. (She's wanted to take the plunge for a while.)
The purpose: Find out what's really involved in making the drastic color change, from the stylist consultation to how long the process takes.
Brilliant colorist Victoria Hunter of Whittemore House salon in New York guided us through the process. Yes, it took four hours, but the results were well worth it.
If you don't agree, just apply Wite-Out to your screen.
For more information on Whittemore House, go to whittemorehousesalon.com.
Forget blue blood, obscure nobility titles, and monikers like Muffy. The mark of a real lady is knowing how to wear a silk head scarf.
So for today's video, the cuties at Ban.do in Los Angeles show our deputy editor, Crystal Meers, the best ways to do it: the Jackie O., urban turban, and topknot bow.
All are easy and quick (about 30 seconds each) and great for when you're not in the mood to wash your hair.
Even after a particularly grueling tennis match against hubby No. 4.
The heart-adorned scarf we use is available online at shopbando.com, $95. Still not sure what do with your hair? Check out our videos on how to do a messy side bun, an around-the-head braid, or just-off-the-beach waves.
We're fighting the urge to say "meow" right now. The cat eye, as demonstrated by makeup artist Annamarie Tendler, just looks that good. In this video, she reveals her method, including her preferred liner and brush.
For more beauty tips or information on Tendler, go to her Tumblr or amtendler.com.
Hey, have you heard? Prince Will and Kate Middleton are getting married! It's crazy how no one is talking about it.
Clearly, we jest. We're as obsessed with the royals as the next palatial interloper. In today's video, we team up with NYC-based milliner and all-around cool lady Eugenia Kim to craft a beautiful headpiece (perfect for 5 a.m. viewing parties).
You can buy all the supplies at any craft store for about $20. Feel free to use your favorite colors, fake flowers, and feathers — or even sub a headband for the clip.
We also asked Kim for her take on a Kentucky Derby hat. All you need is your favorite silk scarf, scissors, and a wide-brim straw hat. Don't have the latter? We just bought one on the street in Soho for $15.
No joke.
Too scared to DIY? Check out our Roundup of 62 headpieces that make us swoon. For more information on Kim (or to buy one of her gorgeous hats), go to eugeniakim.com.
You need just four things for a successful Kentucky Derby party: a TV, paper to write down all the bets, mint juleps, and a big hat. In this video, NYC-based milliner Eugenia Kim helps out with the proper topper.

High school prom: CK One. Trip to Italy: au naturel. Major lapse in judgment: Axe.
Since a smell can bring back memories more vividly than pictures, why leave it to chance? In today's video, Steven Gontarski of Los Angeles-based perfume store Lucky Scent, has tips for finding your perfect fragrance — from where and how to spray it to how to decide what's you.
If you're like us, you'll want to start spritzing away. Nose around Lucky Scent's site — which carries tons of hard-to-find brands — and choose a few to try (samples are just $3-$5).
It's about more than just common scents.
To shop and order samples, go to luckyscent.com. Since Gontarski talks about perfumes so eloquently, we asked him to tell us about his favorite seven fragrances (we're now hooked on the Peau de Peche and At the Beach 1966).
When we told our assistant editor Emily she'd be modeling in a video showcasing hair feathers, she was reluctant. "I don't want to look like David Cassidy circa 1973," she said.
We're not talking about hair feathering: These are extensions made of rooster plumes, a bohemian-inspired trend that's taking flight this season.
Accessories designer Wendy Nichol offers the service at her Soho shop using ethically sourced feathers from a small farm. In ten minutes, she'll help you decide where they should go and attach them using a silicone-lined clamp that won't rip your hair. Once in, they last up to six weeks — and you can wash, dry, and curl them as you please.
The extensions come in an array of colors, from bright blue to natural-looking brown. Nichol warns, however, that people who opt for subtler hues often come back requesting bolder ones.
It's a surefire way to, c'mon, get happy.
Available at Wendy Nichol, 147 Sullivan Street, between Houston and Prince Streets (212-431-4171 or wendynicholnyc.com), $45. An appointment is recommended.

Complying with New EPA Requirements for Mosquito Control
January 2011
The ever growing mosquito population throughout the world continues to be a problem concerning public health. Despite being an annoyance and having a negative impact on communities, mosquitoes pose a legitimate threat to the human population by transmitting serious and harmful diseases. These diseases include several viruses, including West Nile Virus, and others, such as Dengue.
Within the United States, mosquito control programs are implemented to help reduce the negative impact of mosquitoes. Methods include, but are not limited to, adulticide, larvacide, and surveillance. Each of the aforementioned mosquito control methods utilizes pesticides to control populations. Pesticides often have detrimental effects on humans and other living organisms, resulting in many laws and regulations dictating the appropriate use of specific pesticides.
In 2006, the EPA ruled that Clean Water Act (CWA) permits were not required in order to discharge pesticides in or around water.[1] Earlier this year, that ruling was vacated, stating that pesticides are pollutants to U.S. waters. As a result, the Pesticides General Permit (PGP) was developed and is now required to be obtained by any operating entity responsible for discharging pesticides in or around water by April 10, 2011.[2]
The Challenge of Obtaining the NPDES PGP
With this new ruling in place, the EPA expects that the decreased amount of pesticides in US waters and the environment will result in improved human health and conservation of the planet. Peter S. Silva, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Water said, "EPA believes this draft permit strikes a balance between using pesticides to control pests and protecting human health and water quality."[3]
The PGP, established under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program, will require all applicators to minimize the amount of pesticides discharged by using the lowest effective amount of pesticide, take necessary action to prevent leaks and spills, maintain and calibrate relevant equipment, and monitor for and report adverse incidents.[4]
By April 10, 2011, any applicator that is not covered under an NPDES permit and discharges pesticides in or near U.S. waters is in violation of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Applicators without permit coverage found in violation of the CWA will be subject to penalties of up to $37,500 per day, potential lawsuits, and other fines from associated EPA regulations.[5]
Estimations by the EPA conclude that this recent ruling "…will affect approximately 365,000 pesticide applicators nationwide that perform 5.6 million pesticide applications annually."[6]
With such a vast number of individuals and organizations being affected by the PGP, countless concerns and questions are inevitable. For a brief period of time, the EPA welcomed comments from concerned and confused individuals who will be affected by the legal ramifications of the PGP come April 2011. Common concerns center on the short amount of time available until the PGP is required to be in compliance with the CWA. Other concerns include the expense of implementing the PGP into already existing programs, the vague rules and requirements in order to obtain a PGP, and the burdensome and non-productive repercussions wrought by this drastic change in regulation. Simply put, many people affected by this ruling do not have the resources or knowledge available to comply by the April 2011 deadline. The process and requirements to obtain the PGP are confusing and vague, leaving many pesticide applicators in the dark regarding something that carries a serious impact their everyday life.
Rugged Handheld with Mosquito Control Software as a Solution
Even without the new PGP requirements, mosquito control data management has been moving into a new age of technology. No longer will pen and paper suffice as efficient and reliable data collection methods, especially when government regulations and penalties are looming.
Rugged handheld computers paired with mosquito control software are sure to improve the efficiency and verifiability of collected data. These mosquito control solutions offer peace of mind by automatically including forms and functions for record keeping, mapping, and reporting, all which are required to be in compliance with the CWA. Important PGP requirements must be met by mosquito control software by featuring mapping capabilities, historical surveillance data, reporting functions, etc. The main goal of any mosquito control solution is to minimize pesticide use and optimize inspection frequency, ensuring human health safety and environmental protection.
When looking for a mosquito control solution to meet PGP requirements, it is important to keep in mind several features of the software and rugged handheld computer.
Recommended Software Features
- The software that is chosen should be compatible with other industry standards.
- Mobile capabilities are required for on-site, real-time data collection.
- Seamless data transfer from the field to the office, and back again improves efficiency and operational costs.
- Easy-to-use GPS navigation and mapping results in fast data collection.
Recommended Handheld Features
- Be sure that the selected rugged handheld is built to IP67 standards by being waterproof and dustproof. Use in mosquito control applications guarantee contact with chemicals, water, and harsh environmental conditions.
- GPS capabilities are imperative to collecting accurate and verifiable data, as well as guiding technicians to locations for testing and pesticide application.
By using the appropriate equipment and software with the aforementioned features, the ability to integrate mosquito control solutions into existing programs will ensure compliance in order to obtain a required PGP.
Juniper Systems Rugged Handhelds with Sentinel™ GIS
With the use of Juniper Systems rugged handheld computers and Sentinel™ GIS software, meeting the PGP requirements becomes a much more feasible task. The Juniper Systems Archer Field PC® and Mesa Rugged Notepad™ are both built to IP67 and MIL-STD-810 standards, ensuring unsurpassed ruggedness when it is needed most. Sentinel™ GIS software offers four different application modules to suit varying mosquito control needs, including larvicide, adulticide, surveillance, and service request.

Democratic Convention Day 1 Brings Excitement to Grand ForksGRAND FORKS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - The Democratic State Convention kicked off this morning with help of people from all over North Dakota. Politicians geared most of today's events toward youth.
GRAND FORKS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - The Democratic State Convention kicked off this morning with help of people from all over North Dakota. Politicians geared most of today's events toward youth.
Months of preparations have led up to today--the first day of the convention.
Folks from near and far and even some young ones have come to support their party and see what the candidates have to offer.
For most Democrats, it's the biggest day of the year thus far.
"This is sort of the beginning of the whole political process, like lake Itasca, the beginning of the mississippi," said State Insurance Candidate, Tom Potter.
And hype for former President Bill Clinton's speech has just begun.
"Lot of excitement in the air. Everyone is happy to be in Grand Forks," said Govenor Candidate, Ryan Taylor.
But most of the attention is geared towards the younger crowd.
"It's about the future and it's about what we're going to give to our next generation," said Taylor.
"Kind of fun, we get to learn more about the candidates which is really good, not only for nominating them here but once we get into having them be elected. It's good for strategizing and talking to district chairs to find out more about the candidates, what you can do to persuade your friends and vote for the candidate.=," said Minot High School Senior Class President, John Hoffer.
Candidates realize how important it is to gain the younger generation's respect.
"I think they are so curious about this process so interested in moving the country forward," said Senate Candidate, Heidi Heitkamp.
And young people understand as well, how heavy their decisions can weigh.
"Obviously we want to have well informed voters, and if you don't get into politics a year or two before you start voting, you're not going to be well informed," said Hoffer.
"Especially from the district that I'm in, its mainly college students so we really want young people to get involved with politics," said District 42 House of Representative Candidate, Kylie Oversen.
More than 70 middle to high school aged students were involved in today's events-and most candidates couldn't contain their excitement for tomorrow's events.
"Absolutely brillant speaker, there's none in the country that's better in my opinion than bill clinton," said Heitkamp.
Fine-tuning platform issues and nominating and introducing candidates was mainly what went on during the first day of the convention.

8 Monarch Bay Plz, Monarch Bay, CA | Directions 9262933.486264 -117.726907
European Elegance for those who loves Unique Places – We went for dinnner last Sunday. I ordered crabcakes, my date ordered a pepper crusted salmon served on a bed of delicious greens and mango salad. We ordered an appetizer: crab rolls with a fresh radish chutney, and a side of garlic rice. Complimentary shrimp chips. The food(smaller portions) and the atmosphere(elegant servereware) was European. The walking part of the floor in the middle of the restaurant is trasparent to reveal an underneath aquarium with Japanese fish, you can actually feed the fish at the entry of the restaurant. This place is unique, not cheap, you should definetely try it if you want to experience a differrent setting. We did not try any deserts because we planned to pick up a box of pastries made by famous Victor Benes bakery (originated in Bellagio Las Vegas) in near by Gelson's market.
Aoid at all cost.s!!! – The restaurant's decor is nice, but that's about it. I was told by the waiter that The Crab Cove shares the same architect who designed the restaurant Crustaceanin Beverly Hills. I think the owner tried to copy Crustacean with its "Euro-Vietnamese design featuring the now famous "Walk on Water" entrance ", but definately wasn't succesful, when comparing the food. I had my mouth watered for the whole dungeness crab with garlic noodles. And my mother ordered the lobster tail. Both shellfish entrees were not fresh and undercooked. I would not reccomend this restaurant unless you were only going for drinks.
One of the best of Orange County, especially the seafood! – This is one of the best of Orange County. All of the food, especially the seafood is extremely fresh. The flavors combine subtle and delicate with intense. The crab cakes are made of mostly fresh crab meat and very little bread crumb and served with a sauce that compliments them perfectly. The prawns served with garlic noodles are melt in the mouth delicious, with a mix of the delicate butter grilled flavor of the prawns and a more intense garlic and spice flavors of the noodles. This dish is heartier than it appears, so you may have to take part of it to go. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food and presentation. If you are looking for a bargain, try happy hour Monday-Thursday with half price drinks and appetizers. The atmosphere is calming and enchanting with a mesmarizing built in the floor coy fish aquariam, and waterfall pillars. The service was great, friendly, and informative. Ask for Carlos from Brazil. He's awesome.
Don't Recommend – Knock-off of Crustacean of Beverly Hills from dishes and presentation to interior of restaurant. A martini will set you back $20 bucks. Entrees alacart and small portions. Quality of food mediocre. Short staffed, bad service. Recommend going to some other restaurant to 'burn your money'. Bad acoustics in small space, noisy.

Wow! Well, first of all it would be a great idea to try and find out the reason for the sudden change. There is something that triggered this. Something that you could possibly try in addition to discipline is positive reinforcement. For instance, make a chart with your son of things that he does around the house or at school. Each time that he does it, put a check. At the bottom of the chart have various rewards/activities that he can get if he reaches a certain number of checks. For instance, he ate his dinner, he completed his homework, he received a positive comment from his teacher, he went to sleep without crying...then he could receive a check for each category. If you let him choose some possible rewards, he will work harder to reach a goal. Chuck E Cheese, go to McDonalds, go skating for instance can be some choices.
Each time he gets a positive note or comment from his teacher, I would make it seem like it is the best thing ever...like he just became a millionaire. He will love to please you and make you happy with him.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

The Clark County Coroner's office released the name of a 23-year-old woman who died after her vehicle slammed into an RTC Deuce bus in west Las Vegas.
Julia Schultz of Las Vegas was the victim in the incident on Monday, the coroner's office disclosed.
According to Metro police, the wreck involving Schultz happened before 2 p.m. on Charleston Boulevard near Rainbow Boulevard.
Witnesses said the victim, driving a 2004 Ford Taurus, rear-ended the transit bus while it was stopped at a bus stop with passengers boarding. Schultz was taken to University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Five bus passengers were taken to Mountain View Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.
Police closed eastbound Charleston at Rainbow and said they recovered drug paraphernalia from the victim's car.
This marks the 14th traffic-related fatality in Metro's jurisdiction so far in 2013.

I'm not on the forums much (3kids, job, nursing school=crazy busy), but here I am shamelessly at 6 weeks hoping someone else besides my husband (who would never say otherwise) can see a difference. I can, but then I always find myself second guessing saying "oh its just the different lighting and angles". I haven't lost a single pound at this point and am just praying for that 8 week miracle! I'm determined to make these next 6 weeks count but I worry its all in vain and I'm doing something wrong! I did not start this challenge close to my ideal weight so if you are afraid of a little chub look no further!
As always, TIA!
Ok, I tried adding the photos multiple ways to no avail so here is the link to the album instead :)
Congrats on the 6 week mark! Great work so far! There is definitely a big difference in your shoulders and arms. These are the first places we see fat loss. The place we store fat vary - guys mostly around their bellies and love handles and women in their thighs - and fat doesn't spot reduce. It comes off in layers. So places like our shoulders and arms are the first to show fat loss. This is happening for you so you are on the right track! Keep going! The 'problem' places we all posses have deeper stores of fat and it takes longer to see results there. But rest assured the changes ARE happening! You are doing great! Finish all 12 weeks strong and keep us posted on your results! :)
Congratulations on doing the challenge, and yes I can see a difference. Your tummy is starting to look firmer which is great, and the rest is steadily shrinking which is a good sign. I wouldn't worry about not experiencing weight loss just yet. Remember the old adage that muscle weighs more than fat, I reckon this is what is happening with you as it is obvious you have lost fat. I am at the end of week 4 and have put on almost 8 pounds since starting, however as I primarily have visceral fat compared to subcutaneous (as a soon-to-be nurse you will know the difference) I can plainly see the continuous muscle development, my tummy shrinking, and my abs starting to make an appearance. You will be experiencing the same development underneath the subcutaneous fat (typical in women), and as you begin to increase your exercise intensities as the weeks progress the fat will drop away faster and you will be left with a great physique as many people on here have done.
Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing the transformation by week 12.
This is a critical point that I don't think BFL stresses enough:
Go out and get yourself a digital scale with a BF% feature on it. I am on my fifth week, and the scale has only moved about 10 pounds total for me....I would have assumed most of it water weight from quitting a 6pack of beer each night,
BUT, upon further examination...
my BF% has gone from 34% to 24%, which means that my "measly" 10 pound shift equates to losing 19 pounds of fat and gaining 10 pounds of muscle...and that is INSPIRING!!
Tanita makes a good one I have had for almost 8 years, I think it was $80 at Walmart.
I can see the difference in that your stomach has gotten smaller and your hips are slimmer. Give yourself a break. You're probably doing everything right....it just takes time. I think shows like The Biggest Loser create unrealistic expectations for weight loss for lots of us...and we get discouraged when we have real lives, real jobs, real obligations and we have to cram fitness in there somewhere, but the weight doesn't come off as fast as we'd like it to. I am on my second round of BFL and I've probably lost less than 20 lbs....but, I've gone from a size 10 to almost a size 6. I've toned my body and almost gotten rid of the muffin top. Just keep plugging away...stick to the eating plan because I think the diet is about 80% of the battle...and just keep moving. You'll see results, I guarantee it. One day you'll just notice that you need a belt to keep the pants up that used to be too tight to button. good luck!! Keep the faith! Lisa
Thanks everyone, Its hard when the friend I started with is down 15lbs. She made a good point though, when we started I had already been eating clean for 9 months and had already lost 60lbs on my own. She had been a human garbage disposal (her words, not mine) so BFL was more of a shock to her system than it was to mine. You always lose weight faster when you first start a diet, and since I'd already been "dieting" for 9 months my body didn't have the same reaction. Plus since that 60lbs I lost was without stepping into the gym once, I'm sure a lot of muscle has been gained. I'm just going to keep on keeping on and give it everything I have, that's all i can do right :)
Thanks for the encouragement!
Great work you can really see it in your hips and shoulders!! Don't pay any attention to the scale I just finished my 5th challenge and only lost 5lbs over the 12 weeks but made very visual differences in my appearance.. I had lost a lot of scale weight my previous challenges so this was a bit of a shock to me don't be discouraged though you see change happening so keep moving forward. all the best aloha
Awesome job! You are looking great:)

great selection and knowledgeable staff! – I love this store. I live in the neighborhood, and sometimes stop in even when I don't want a movie! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and cool. Miss your movie-nerd bff and want to share random quotes from your favorite movie? Come here. They have a terrific selection, too -- new movies, obscure foreign and indie flicks, tv series, that awesomely weird horror movie no one else had ever heard of...you get the idea. The owners are awesome people who genuinely care about the neighborhood. Plus, the store is just so darn cute, and the location and hours can't be beat. Okay, I've convinced myself. I'm going to go rent a movie right now!
WORST VIDEO STORE EVER!!!!! – "WORST "VIDEO" STORE IN THE WORLD!!! 1. Their staff, minus ONE girl, is horribly horribly rude. They give dirty looks, make faces, shake their heads when you walk in and just, for some unknown reason, actually think they are better then you. They are beyond A**holes and there are 2 in particular which are the worst. The girl w/the shaved blond head that thinks she's better then you, is rude, sarcastic and unhelpful. You have an extremely negative attitude and are a b**tch. One of the boys, Keith, you actually told TWO clients, in a most likely struggling business, that they should leave and go to Netflix. Are you so dumb as to send consistent customers to one of, if not, the largest corporation(s) in your industry in this country? The company taking over your entire field and livelihood? 2 Your owner probably isn't happy about that, and if he is, he's an idiot and an A$$ too. 2. MOST of their movies are on VHS. Who actually wants/needs or rents a VHS tape anymore? Almost every time I want a movie, they only have a VHS copy. It's not worth it anymore! 3. They have inconsistent store policies. What one employee tells a customer, the next says something different. 4. They treat LOYAL consistent customers as if they've never seen them before! As if they they didn't know them, that they didn't rent from them on a nightly basis. They don't care if your a local from the neighborhood or a bum stranger off the street. What a great renting experience! YEA RIGHT. STAY AWAY!!!!!!
Definitely gotten better over the years. – I've been a member since the place opened, and it's definitely gotten consistantly better over the years. There have been some bad employees, but they don't last very long. Nobody who works there now that is anything but nice, and defnitely easy to approach.
Their selection is the best in Park Slope. I'm a member at a few other places in the neighborhood, but I haven't been anywhere else in years and years. And if you show up at the right time (Anytime between when they open and about 6:30) you have no problem getting a brand new movie, no matter how popular it is. They also make sure to get in all the current criterion releases, too!
To the lady who wrote the review about about the $50 late fee, you're what inspired me to write this review. That seems like an isolated incident and I don't think it reflects the store. No one I know whos a member has ever had any problems like that.
Amazingly Improved! My Fave Video Store! – I would like to respond to the two reviews here, especially the most recent one. I live in the neighborhood with my family and have been a member of this video store since the year it opened. They've always had the most unusual, varied, interesting selection of any video store I've ever visited. The store was also always very user-friendly, with a drop box, reasonable rental rates, and quick service. BUT there were a few employees who marred the experience by being rude. No doubt about it. In the past couple of years though, my family and I have had nothing but the best interactions with sweet, helpful, and oftentimes scarily knowledgeable employees. At one point I even made a comment, about a year back, about how nice everyone was and how different it was. The employee I was talking to said, very seriously, that they had had some not-very-nice employees, who were now no longer at the store, and that they "only hired nice people now, and people who know about movies." Well, it shows, and in addition they've really re-organized to make things easier to find, and have expanded their selection. Also: they have two day rentals now! Probably my last concern was that it was hard to return the movies on time sometimes, especially with my younger kids. Now with the two-day rentals, it's not a problem! My family, and our friends in the 'hood, are now die-hard Reel Lifers! I would also like to add, that neither my family or ANYONE I have ever known who rented at Reel Life, has EVER received an erroneous charge on their credit card. EVER. Yes, it is a "Mom and Pop" store, and God knows those are fast disappearing in the neighborhood -- the city, no less -- and they should be supported. Especially when they are as fun and interesting as Reel Life!
Worst Video Store Ever – I looked at my bank statement recently and there was a $50 charge from Reel Life South. I googled them and realized it was a place I had rented a few movies from in Park Slope, but I hadn't been there in months. I called to find out about the charge, and they said it was for a movie, "Babette's Feast," that had been rented in June 2006 and returned almost a year later. I've never seen the movie, nor did I rent it. My roommate and my boyfriend are also on the account. My boyfriend lives out of state and was not in the state at that time, and had never seen the movie. My roommate had seen the movie, liked it, but has never been to Reel Life and saw the movie years ago. I spoke to one very rude employee and one courteous employee about the charges. It was upon speaking to the owner that I realized how awful this place is. The owner yelled at me, told me that I was "stealing from a mom and pop store" and said that either I or my roommate or boyfriend was lying. Coming out of nowhere, this whole episode ruined my day. I really don't like to be yelled at in this manner. Only after I threatened legal action did the owner agree to refund the charge. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD NUMBER - they will charge you without notifying you, and probably for a movie you never rented.
Also the few times I went in there the employees were rude and seemed to feel that they were doing the customers a favor by speaking to them. Also the movie selection isn't that great - I just went there because going to Blockbuster is a downer and it was in the neighborhood. I enjoy shopping at local businesses, many of which are disappearing at an alarming rate. But I will be thankful never to deal with the people from Reel Life South again.
decent selection of movies - arrogant, unfriendly staff – Pretty good foreign film selection in particular (though a lot of these are on VHS).
However, the staff are terrible. Not particularly knowledgeable about movies, and appallingly unfriendly and unhelpful. They're much more interested in watching TV than answering questions.
I quote a Citysearch review of another rental place in the neighborhood, Video Gallery: "I USED TO go to Reel Life South, but got acid burns by their glares one too many times." Exactly.
